Takeaways From The Red Carpet
There are great takeaways from the red carpet of this year’s Golden Globes awards. Fashion worn by the stars can teach us so much about the current times. Most often, fashion designers provide stars, through stylists, design options that are reflections of current and forward thinking design concepts. With so many stars, and so many trends and styles to wrap your head around, I curated a detailed selection to help illustrate the takeaways from the red carpet. [Photo images by Getty.

Absolutely What Not To Wear!
- I regularly catch Ms. London “falling down.” Not even an airbrushed image can protect her air of perfect advice.
We’ve all been subjected to these TV shows or segments that are “what not to wear” oriented. The concept was perhaps made most famous by fashion stylist Stacy London, who hosts the a show, “What Not To Wear” on TLC and also pops up on programs like “Today” doing segments like the one that caught my eye – or was it my ire – just before the holidays.
My Plea For Pleated Pants
A life coach, whose practice specializes in helping get people employed, wrote me a note recently. It caught my attention to the point that if I had to write him back a free answer, I was going to post it to my blog for everyone’s benefit.
Understanding The Color Red: A Shade for Every Season and Every Person
The key to understanding the color red is to feel it. Red comes with a range of emotions and sensations that I think are beyond other colors. Even if you were blind, red is a color you’d be able to experience like no other.
Hitting the Sync Button On Your Clothing and Lifestyle
For most techies in Silicon Valley, if your laptop computers and mobile devices are as badly synched as your clothing is with your lifestyle, you’re in big trouble!
Fashion’s Night Is Out!
Now that all of the world’s Fashion’s Night Out [FNO] ‘celebrations’ have concluded, and I experienced being at the epicenter of one of the biggest ones, I have decided to declare that any and all forthcoming Fashion’s Night Out events are out of fashion to attend.
The Silicon Valley Style Book Is On And You Are A Part of It
Not a week goes by that either clients or readers of my blog suggest that I write a book about style. Having previously written the Style column for the Metro Silicon Valley for two years prior to launching my blog, the notion of writing a book on personal style is one that I’ve been toying around with for some time now. And, I think the time has come.
As I warm up my writing chops, I’m determined to take a completely fresh approach by writing about style that would make a difference to the community in which I live and work.

Saint Laurent Rive Gauche – Style For the People
One of the things I love most about Paris is seeing and experiencing things unique to Paris. Sure, the Eiffel Tower is a matchless Paris site. But the City of Light is filled with countless nooks to tuck into that may not see as much light, but are as bright as the discovery of a sparkly gem.
One of these bright gems is tucked into a nook so close to the highly popular Golden Triangle; it’s often overlooked. But if you should find yourself in Paris, and you have an interest in fashion and style, be sure to look up the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent. It has a wonderful jewel box of an exhibition space that hosts some highly specialized and unique presentations.

Summertime And The Living Is Easy
Summing up the spring fashion story, as it appears through the windows of Paris’ very high fashion street, rue Faubourg-St. Honoré, ease is the word. A late night wander down the street reviewing French and Italian designers, camera in hand and a lot of Bordeaux consumed during dinner, I came to the realization that “ease” may be the word, but it’s done in a much more sophisticated way than how people in Silicon Valley tend to think about it.
Balenciaga: Creator of Couture and Character
Last December, Vogue European Editor-at-Large Hamish Bowles spoke about Christobal Balenciaga, one of the last century’s most noted couturiers, at the 12th Annual New York Fashion Conference, organized by Initiatives in Art and Culture. Since hearing him share his experiences about curating the exhibit, Balenciaga and Spain, I knew it would be a superb visual treat.
The exhibit, now at the De Young Museum in San Francisco, does not disappoint.
